SAFEGUARDING
promoting a safer church
At St John’s, we love God, love each other, and we love our community.
We take our responsibilities surrounding the safeguarding of children, young people, and adults who may be at risk very seriously, and we work in partnership with the Diocese of Salisbury to ensure that we work in accordance with best practice at all times.
Our safeguarding policy can be found here.
Our domestic abuse policy can be found here.
